No Lights Out for grandMA at Insomniac's Annual Nocturnal Festival

Insomniac's 16th Annual Nocturnal Festival in San Bernardino, California on September 25 proved to be a fun alternative to a good night's sleep. The all-night music festival featured six stages of entertainment with the grandMA controlling a wide array of lighting instruments on five of them. A.C.T Lighting is the exclusive distributor of the grandMA in North America.

More than 100 artists performed 11 hours of live music on six stages during the festival that drew some 42,000 people to the NOS Events Center. The wonderland-style atmosphere also included theatrics, art installations and carnival rides.

Stephen Lieberman of SJ Lighting, Inc. designed and coordinated the event and ran the Main Stage, a mega-structure built by AG Light & Sound.

"Everything went flawlessly; we never experienced any problems," reports Andrew Gumper, president of AG Light & Sound which supplied the gear. His company also furnished new MDG theONE Digital Atmospheric Generator (also distributed by A.C.T. Lighting) for the Main Stage. "They put out a beautiful haze that hung around forever," he says.

"Every stage looked phenomenal with every lighting operator giving it their all," says Lieberman. "The grandMAs really unified lighting control for an event with multiple operators and programmers that stretched across multiple stages into a sleepless night."

"This was the expected 'excellent as usual" result when Steve Lieberman, Andrew Gumper and the grandMA are put together," comments A.C.T Lighting President and CEO Bob Gordon.
